THE FEAST IS READY!!!(INVITATION TO OUR PRAYER FEAST)

The FEAST is almost READY. In fact, it's READY. 

The simple REASON is HE is already there,  prepared the FEAST, laid everything beautifully waiting for you.(Matthew 18:19-20)

THE FEAST?...it's one of PRAYER.(Remember what he said my house shall be one of PRAYER)
Tomorrow, 1st July a Republic holiday, I specially invite you to our ANNUAL PRAYER FEAST.

You would agree with me on these:
- Clearly, Our Country needs PRAYERS especially as we go into the Polls.
(Also is the destiny of Mother Ghana herself. What we see/hear daily speaks enough)

-Our Leaders at all levels-religious,political,institutional.

-The church&Christian fraternity in general

- We all need prayers on an avalanche of things....Our Christian lives,purposes, divine security providence....
(The space here not enough)

His word says:
* Joel 1:14
Consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.

* Isaiah 62:6-7
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who put theLORD in remembrance, take no rest, and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in the earth.

*Ephesians 6:18
Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

* 2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

'MEDITATE!'(Romans 6:1-14)



On Meditate this morning, I believe the the above passage in Romans will do us a lot of Good.
"FOR SIN SHALL NO LONGER BE YOUR MASTER BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW BUT UNDER GRACE"

Details now in Romans 6. Let's go:
Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ

1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 

2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. 

6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 

10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. 

14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

SO I SAY:
MEDITATE!

'WE SERVE!'(PART2)(Ephesians 4:11-16)

WE SERVE continues.

Let's start with the full passage

Ephesians 4:11-16
V. 11 And he gave the  apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the
shepherds and teachers,
V.12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,(To prepare God's people for work of service so that the body of Christ may be built up)

V.13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ...
V.16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly,makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.


In the morning, we looked at the fact whoever we are, how far we've reached in the Christian race; we still come back to this -a life of SERVICE to God&mankind.

And so as you grow and mature in Christ, what he builds in you is that of humility, fervor, diligence, passion&deep concern to help one another.These virtues are at the core of our Service to God and His people.Anything that runs counter to these virtues as you move on in Christ is not of God. CHECK IT OUT!

Mostly, we're concerned or concern ourselves with the honour, favour, glory and some level of blessings 'bi' especially when we 'think' we've attained some status in Christ.

However, we forget of those same basic simple spiritual things which brought us to that level and have now been forsaken. The Reason?...It is below us, seen us below us or perhaps we fail to surround ourselves with people who will keep us in check.(i.e Remind of such things to help us achieve our God-given purpose.)

Once again, we forget that by his schemes of operations, God channels his (these) blessings through our service to him&his people.


Well, not so amazing anymore but it is still amazing how our humility and willingness to serve, quickly changes as soon as we climb up the Spiritual Ladder. In the corridors of Power, they say.... We become demi-gods only seeking to be worshipped, adored and praised.

Again, i repeat- Due honour and recognition is accorded you but the title or gifting no matter how flamboyant does not  make you bigger than the calling and SERVICE to his (GOD'S) PEOPLE.

Therefore, Stop redefining  the goal of the Christian by the height you have reached. Beloved,Nothing has changed because you still remain a christian and the Christian is SUPPOSED TO SERVE! 

All the things that surrounds it are needful but they are what the Bible describes as 'the other things'...Seek him first which is what the master (Jesus) demonstrated with a life of service through his 33 years on earth.

Of course, we serving doesn't make us paupers who live under the mercy of others and also to be belittled. In fact,it is in that we receive his manifold blessings. The problem and the solution at the same has always been the definition i gave of the Christian Life in Part 1- 'Service in Honour' or rightfully its reverse 'Honour in Service'

Mind you, all these he has enabled us to do by his GRACE(Ephesians 3:20)

Our Service to God can be described as a chain with rippling effects. Let's all play our part.
Let this be engraved in your minds... AS CHRISTIANS, WE SERVE! PERIOD

SO I STILL SAY:
WHEREVER YOU HAVE REACHED, YOU STILL SERVE...WE SERVE!


'WE SERVE!!!'(PART 1)(Eph.4:11-16)




WE SERVE...Okayy, so of all the jobs in this world, one of them that really fascinates me is that of a Waiter.Basically, I love their whole make-up(though mostly pretentious).Their peculiar uniform, beautiful outlook,unique walk, swift smartness, the willingness and humility to be at your service is just amazing. 

By the snap of your fingers, they hurriedly attend to you because by that they earn their living.
This is what our Father has called us into or to do... TO SERVE!

Ephesians 4:11-12
V. 11 And he gave the  apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,
V.12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,(To prepare God's people for work of service so that the body of Christ may be built up)

One definition of the Christian life I will give here is SERVICE in HONOUR and interchangeably HONOUR in SERVICE.

Beloved at every point of the Christian life, we're either required to pray,teach, exercise faith, study the Word,give, win souls, disciple, preach&it goes on.You agree with me that IT NEVER STOPS. It's a recurring thing because these are the pivot holding the Christian life. 

Even for those we 'consider' at the apex of the Spiritual ladder, they are never insulated from SERVING.In fact, it is at that level that a higher level of service is required regardless of the different forms it may take.

For many of us, we tend to think that at certain levels in the faith, certain things or work, service are beneath us. Get it straight from here and let this be your MIND,THE CHRISTIAN LIFE SUMS UP TO SERVICE NO MATTER THE HEIGHT YOU REACH.

And so due honour and recognition is accorded you but the prophecy title or healing gifting doesn't  make you bigger than the calling and SERVICE to his (GOD'S) PEOPLE.

COME DOWN!!!... For whatever you are, have or have gotten to, they have been freely given you, not for yourself but to SERVE.(Matthew 10:8)



We are all serving in different capacities.You do yours ,I do mine.(one of them is my messages here)
This is the only way the many dying souls can be be won & the Father's will can be done on earth.
 
Remember, as Christians, WE SERVE, WE SERVE IN HONOUR....WE  CAN'T I mean WE AIN'T STOPPING.

On MESSAGE FOR THE EVENING, we look at PART 2  of this & other points as well.

SO I SAY:
'WE SERVE!!!'

'WHAT IS YOUR SPECIAL DAY???'

Do you have? I mean a DAY you call SPECIAL?I'm sure you do. So what is it? 

*You remember the many years it took you before you got that suitable husband.  The pressures,anguish,difficulties.
Why won't it be a SPECIAL DAY when he finally proposed in an unsuspecting&spectacular fashion.

* That day I mean that SPECIAL DAY when your small&selfless initiative though unregarded landed you a billion dollar deal. Why won't it be A SPECIAL DAY.

*Again the day you finally gained your freedom from that pretentious, oppressive&cruel family working as a servant. It will definitely be SPECIAL.

Beloved, many are the SPECIAL DAYS in our lives no matter how much we talk about this cruel world.

Birthdays, first-time travels, first child just to mention a few also make up SPECIAL DAYS in our lives.

Almost everyone has. In fact, I think all should have..No, all should have.Why?...Hold on.

Undoubtedly, days such as the above are memories that will remain with us. Yes, they will remain with us for a 'longgg' time.

However, take this Scripture:
'ALL PEOPLE ARE LIKE GRASS, AND ALL THEIR GLORY IS LIKE FLOWERS OF THE FIELD; THE GRASS WITHERS AND THE FLOWERS FALL, BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER.'(1Pet.1:24-25)

And so these SPECIAL DAYS are good&our God certainly wants them for us. However, will they ENDURE FOREVER? 

One SPECIAL DAY of God for our lives is when you become a CHRISTIAN...Accepts him as your Lord& personal saviour.

Add that to your SPECIAL DAYS. In fact, make it the Greatest of all because out of that,
he says:
'I give you eternal life , and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. (John 10:28)
'The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come  that they may have life and have it in abundance. (John 10:10)

Such a SPECIAL DAY God gives us isn't comparable to any other because it's out of that comes ALL THE GOODNESS of life. Yeah even surpassing all the SPECIAL things you had before you accepted him.

First, he makes every single day of your life BEAUTIFUL,GLORIOUS&SPECIAL in spite of what you go through.

*Psalm 68:19
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with his benefits, even the God of our salvation. May the Lord be praised!  Day by Day he bears our burdens; God is our salvation. 

*2 Corinthians 4:16
So do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away,  our inner self is being renewed day by day.

Above all:
'HIS DIVINE POWER HAS GIVEN US EVERYTHING WE NEED FOR A GODLY LIFE THROUGH  OUR KNOWLEDGE OF HIM WHO CALLED US BY HIS OWN GLORY AND GOODNESS.(2 Pet 1:3)

SO I SAY:
WE ALL HAVE OUR SPECIAL DAYS. NO DOUBT BUT MAKE THE DAY YOU GOT SAVED THE MOST SPECIAL.

'MEDITATE!' (Hebrews 10:19-22)

Good morning to you all my ON THIS MORNING faithfuls. How was your weekend?  Mine was a blast with Father's Day heavily in the midst.

Whatever it is,  our God is with us and he'll surely make our days glorious.

This morning let's chew on these scriptures on MEDITATE.

Hebrews 10:19-22

'A CALL TO PERSEVERE IN FAITH'

19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,

20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body,

21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

SO I SAY:

MEDITATE!

'FATHERS MEDITATION'

Yeeeeiiii it is the day for our FATHERS. You know they are worth celebrating every single day but a day  like this crowns it off.

Before I go into the verses for today on FATHERS; Women I'm not sure you'll doubt that God is indeed a man& a father for that matter.

Okay, scriptures don't lie they will prove it:

* Matthew 6:9
Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.

* Malachi 2:10
Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us? Why then are we faithless to one another, profaning the covenant of our fathers?

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

*Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

 
* Psalm 103:13
As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.

* Proverbs 13:24
Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.

* Proverbs 13:22
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.

*Proverbs 10:1
A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.

* Luke 15:24-32
For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.

SO I SAY:
LET'S CELEBRATE FATHERS. HAPPY FATHERS DAYYY!!!

'FATHER'S DAY QUOTES'

Okayy, Father's Day is just less than 24hrs away.
Kudos to our Fathers for they make it complete you know.

For those who are still shirking their duties& disgracing Fatherhood; CHANGE! CHANGE!! CHANGE!!!
So the Quotes for our wonderful fathers now:

* Mothers play an important role as the heart of the home, but this in no way lessens the equally important role fathers should play, as head of the home, in nurturing, training, and loving their children.
Ezra Taft Benson

* My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.
Tiger Woods
 
*I think my mom put it best. She said, 'Little girls soften their daddy's hearts.'
Paul Walker

*A father is someone that holds your hand at the fair.
Makes sure you do what your mother says.
Holds back your hair when you are sick.
Brushes that hair when it is tangled because mother is too busy.
Let's you eat ice cream for breakfast but only when mother is away
He walks you down the aisle and tells you everything's gonna be Ok.

* The quality of a father can be seen in the goals, dreams and aspirations he sets not only for himself, but for his family.

* It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons.~Johann Schiller

*I never had a chance to choose the man to be my Dad but I sure thank my lucky stars for the taste my Mother had.


THEN THIS:
* It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.” - Pope John XXIII
* Don't make a baby if you can't be a father.
- National Urban League Slogan
(FOR IRRESPONSIBLE FATHERS)

*Father I will always be that same boy who stood by the sea
and watched you tower over me now I'm older I wanna be the same as you"
*He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

* I want to congratulate all the men out there who are working diligently to be good fathers whether they are stepfathers, or biological fathers or just spiritual fathers.
T. D. Jakes.

 
Personally, to my wonderful, loving, caring, responsible Father George Twum Badu (Daa Bob) but hold on... he's somehow meticulous, principled&of course we argue a lot...Daddy, I LOVE YOU.

SO I SAY:
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

YOUR SINS ARE... (PART 2)

Hello, Good morning. No need for any scare this morning. I'm sure by now you know that
YOUR SINS ARE TOTALLY FORGIVEN&FORGOTTEN. 

He is God& that is what his salvation brings you. He totally wipes your slate clean REGARDLESS of WHATEVER SIN you've done.Just avail yourself to him. 

Beloved, forget about what the devil has put in your mind, how terrible he makes you feel.
You are in CHRIST. Christ has defeated him already. He only walks with his head chopped off-scrambling,scheming&scaring people.Check the WORD of GOD,he thrives on these. Of course, he will destroy you if & when he gets you.(John 10:10)

The devil has power. He is powerful. No doubt!.. Note that his power and authority is time-bound, limited and restrictive.
Now,this is how God describes it to us(his children)-DO NOT allow yourselves to be bogged down by the skeletal remains of the devil's power for he has already been defeated.

You are only insulated from his destructive power when you rest and bask in the power of God NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE OR ENORMITY OF YOUR SINS. YOU'VE BEEN MADE POWERFUL...YOU ARE MORE POWERFUL.

The devil is very stubborn. He'll keep on coming&reminding you but as his word says in  the books of James 4:7 -'Resist the devil and he will flee from you' &Romans 8:37-'...in all these we are more than conquerors'.(More on the devil's devises later)

So let's now focus on these as we said yesterday for that is what he has made you.

*YOUR SINS ARE COVERED(Psalm 32:1)
'Blessed is he .....whose sins are covered.'

Don't be confused for God is not condoning your sins & he never will. He only wants you to acknowledge your sins, unhide it, come to him in sincerity& bare it all out.

With that he then COVERS YOUR SINS WITH HIS GRACE. David after committing murder&Adultery benefited from this hence this Scripture. UNCOVER your sins to God&he'll COVER it for you. (Psalm 69:5, Proverbs 28:13)


*YOUR SINS ARE ERASED...MADE AS WHITE AS SNOW (Isaiah 1:18)
'Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord for though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.'

A CRIMSON is a strong red colour inclining to purple&A SCARLET is a vivid red colour with an orange tinge.
This is a clear description of how dirty your sins are as depicted yesterday. 
 It is why he makes it as WHITE as snow and as FINE as wool. 

And so after covering your sins, our Lord then takes his time to wipe it out and make it CLEAN.
Beloved, irrespective of what you have been through just because you're in Christ Jesus, YOU are (made) CLEAN.


*YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN&FORGOTTEN (HEBREWS 8:12)
'For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.'
After everything, this is what he says about you..YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN & FORGOTTEN...Go &Sin no more (Luke 7:48 &John 8:11)

He's done it all on the cross. Given you Grace to overcome sin.
As you do that, you may(will) sin along the way that's why he's laid a provision in 1 John 1:9 for you.
Awww such a good God. Got you All COVERED. 

SO WHAT DO I SAY THAN:
YOUR SINS ARE COVERED, ERASED, FORGIVEN&FORGOTTEN.

'YOUR SINS ARE....'(PART 1)

Hmmm...You, your Sins...hmmm
Anyway, 'wo de3' Good morning ee. 
Hope you're doing well& have not been hopping from one treacherous sin to another.

You can't tell me for going as far as the highest court of the land to lie i mean commit Perjury while under oath against that devoted brother who only sought your good? I mean...for what at all?
You must be kidding me...YOUR SINS are TRAITOROUS.

Then what?...You deliberately grabbed the man, suffocated him, tied him, took him home, had sex with the wife, molested the children.Then, to top it all burned them altogether in the house?

'Whyy?' ...what kind of person ARE YOU? That is a whole amalgamation of sins.YOUR SINS ARE JUST....



Then continuously adding to that is the 'usual' normalised sins you do everyday.(Just recount them)

Forgive me for the scare this morning. I just wanted to paint a vivid picture of the numerous& grave sins we commit especially when we dig deeper&deeper into things of this world. 

With these sins, many may have, yes they may have various plausible& justifiable reasons such as paying the person back in his coin.
Regardless, no matter what, SIN IS SIN. It always leaves us dirty& the worst person ever even after the retribution. 

Such people are scattered in this life. They feel they can NEVER be FORGIVEN. They are just CONDEMNED so they say.



However, hear this GOOD NEWS...THE BEST NEWS YOU COULD EVER GET.

 Jesus says  'I have not come for the righteous but sinners to repentance.' (Luke 6:31-32)Yes, those sinners or sins include the above and the worst person on earth here. YES!

Therefore, he says:
*YOUR SINS ARE COVERED(Psalm 32:1)

*YOUR SINS ARE ERASED...MADE WHITE AS SNOW(Isaiah 1:18)

Finally,
*YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN&FORGOTTEN(Heb.8:12)

(Details on these tomorrow)

Beloved, this is not to encourage SIN but to let you know what his SALVATION make you.

TO YOU READING THIS, YOU ARE NEVER CONDEMNED!

Even for such people(everyone), he turns them anew, make them fit & bless them with a glorious life. YOU WILL NEVER GET THIS ANYWAY. THIS MAKES HIM GOD FOR NONE CAN EVER COMPARES.

Therefore, Go to him no matter  who you are and preponderance of your sins but always remember God does not save us so we get deeper into sin.

SO I SAY:
YOUR SINS ARE COVERED, ERASED, FORGIVEN&FORGOTTEN.

'ROYALTY'(PART 2) (1Pet.2:9, Rev19:6-9,  Rom.8:17)

Royalty! Royalty!! Royalty!!!

Good morning God's ROYALS. Yesterday, we looked at ROYALTY. We continue today.

I'm sure by now you know you are ROYAL not of earthly descent but a heavenly one of  which your rulership cuts across all the earth.
This is simply because you are CHILD OF GOD.(Born again)

And so just like you, your fellow Christian has&shares in this
In fact, the Bible says we are heirs of God& co-heirs with Christ. (Isn't it wonderful?)

The problem has always been knowing, believing&exercising this fully.

This is clearly against earthly Royalty which is only for the privileged, rich, influential& a selected few.
God through Christ came to cut it vast open.

One other thing God gives us as his people(ROYALS) is authority, power,  dominion, rulership over all the earth& the nations.
(Mind you it's not over a particular area, region or country at most)

Psalm 2:9
Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.

Another one is the UNLIMITED access we have to approach him now as his children. It's just like a Father and son relationship.

(Do you have that access to your king who is also your father? Then where does that leave you the commoner?)

Of course there is love,reverence,mercy,justice,peace, love, joy& his glory all in its fullness.
(Can you say same for earthly royalty?)

Hebrews 4:16
'Let us then approach the throne of Grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.

Beloved, Earthly Kingdom is not everything. Thank God with deeper truth from the Word, we now who we are in Christ.

We are ROYALS already for we serve THE KING OF ALL KINGS&LORD OF ALL LORDS.

We're his BRIDE&he's the BRIDEGROOM. We patiently AWAIT his coming so as to be adorned in fine linen, clean&bright as righteous saints. Be ready& always live in anticipation of that (Rev 19:7-8).

Don't be bothered about the ROYALTY of this World for you are already a ROYAL!
ACT LIKE ONE!

SO I SAY, SHOUT
'ROYALTY!'

'ROYALTY' (PART 1)’ (1Pet 2:9, John 3:3, Rom.8:17)

Royalty! Royalty!! Royalty!!!

Royalty beckons on us. Yes on you and I.

Well,It is until recently that People seems to have lost interest in it.   People really fancied ROYALTY. (That's another topic I guess)

Who wouldn’t want to come from a royal family, be called a royal, be an heir to the throne. More so, to have access to the King, his royal majesty, adorned in his full regalia&having power &authority to do a lot of things.(even abusing it)

The sad thing is that for some people they can never be ‘ooo’. Errhmmm, hold on let me check my name- 'Nana Otuo Serebour'(I would give you the answer later)

And so the last time I checked ROYALTY was 'only' through birth among a certain crop of people within the royal circles.

That leads me to this. Ain't you also given birth to? (we all are right?).
The cruel difference is the sagregation& unfairness the world(through sin) presents us with as explained above.

However the great news is the equal platform God presents us with &so he births us again (Thus to be BORN AGAIN for us to have a new kind of life)

Check out these Scriptures first:
2 Cor.5:17
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come."

John 3:3
Jesus declared " I tell you the truth, no one can see the Kingdom of God unless he's born again."

So then we move on to this:
Luke 1:32-33
He(Jesus)will be great and will be called the son of the Most High.The Lord will give him the throne of his father David,
and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

Rom.8:17
' Now if we are children  then we are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ...'

Christians belong to a Kingdom-the Kingdom of God which is specifically& already prepared for us. Simply, THAT MAKES YOU ARE ROYAL! (If not you simply know what to do)

Another good aspect of our Royalty is that we are not made to enjoy it only in heaven but also to show forth on  Earth here.

I Pet. 2:9
'But you are a chosen people, a ROYAL priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, THAT YOU MAY DECLARE THE PRAISES OF HIM WHO CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS WONDERFUL LIGHT. '

Beloved, before I bring you more on what the Bibles says about our Royalty&its unique difference; Just know that you are ONE-A ROYAL.

Therefore,  ma wo tirim 3ny3 wo d3.
Walk like  one, act like one, operate as one all because you have this JESUS who defies all the earthly odds.

SO I SAY,SHOUT:
ROYALTY!

'DO YOU KNOW 2'(A CEPOP SPECIAL)

Oh yes CEPOP has started already&great responses we have received. God has been GOOD. 

One thing it tells us is that People are really hungry for the WORD.
Mind you Evangelism is a daily affair. However,  Let's join CEPOP to save souls now. 

So today, I bring other compelling  reasons on 'DO YOU KNOW 2'(Refer to Part 1)

GLOBAL STATS:
*There are 430,000 missionaries from all branches of Christendom. Only between 2 and 3% of these missionaries work among unreached peoples. (The Traveling Team)

*The country with the fastest Christian expansion ever is China, now at 10,000 new converts every day. (World Evangelization Research Center)

* Each year, 180 million Bibles and New Testaments are wasted (lost, destroyed, or disintegrated) due to incompetence, hostility, bad planning, or inadequate manufacture. (World Evangelization Research Center)

(www.aboutmissions.org/statistics.html)

* 90% of immigrants to Europe since 1990 are from Islamic Nations

* In France, there are 1.8 children in every indigene’s home but 8.1 children in the homes of Muslim immigrants.

* 30% of children in France aged 20years or below are Muslims. But in the big cities like Marseille or Nice the stats is at an alarming 45%

* In 2027, that is after 11 years from now, 1 out 5 of every French will be a Muslim if the trend continues.
In 39years, France will be an Islamic Nation.

*In the UK, in the last 30years, the population of Muslims have shot from 82000 to 2.5 million. And there are 1000 mosques in the UK; of which most of them used to be churches.

IN GHANA:
*  Dagaaba has 641,926 people in the area but only 20000 recorded Christians.

*Kusaasi has a population of 279,007 but has less than 2% of the population being Christians.

(From FIRESEEDS CONFERENCE 2013 )

SO I SAY:
NOW YOU KNOW!!!

'MEDITATE!' (Proverbs 4:20-27)

Your Word says in Joshua 1:8 that:
Thou shall MEDITATE on your word day and night and be careful to do whatever is written in it.

And so we obey your word this morning. Let's MEDITATE on Proverbs 4:20-27

20 My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight,keep them within your heart;

22 for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.
23 Above all else, guard your heart,for everything you do flows from it.

24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze directly before you.

26 Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.
27  Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.

SO I SAY:
'MEDITATE!!!'

DUNCAN'S QUOTES

Good morning everybody. We thank God for giving us today.

Glory to him for giving us life. Well, that means you mustn't joke with his WORD.
Therefore, join me in DUNCAN'S QUOTES today.

Nicholas Duncan-Williams (born 12 May 1957) is the Presiding Archbishop&General Overseer of the
charismatic Action Chapel International (ACI) ministry in Accra, Ghana.

The son of a politician-diplomat, his parents separated when he was a child& he was raised by his mother, a nurse,in Wa& Bolgatanga in Ghana.

He was restless as a youth, and twice stowed away on ships to Europe. Duncan-Williams was converted in 1976 by the Acquah sisters at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

In 1977, he went to the Bible School of Benson Idahosa in Benin City, Nigeria. No wonder he presents himself as a "child" of Benson Idahosa.

Also, recognised as a "father" of other charismatic leaders in Ghana; he  founded ACI in 1979 being the first Charismatic church.
Archbishop as he's called is a strong believer in Prayer. His teachings are based on that.

He's now married  to Rosa Whitaker having divorced Francisca Duncan-Williams in 2007.
He is also the author of various books on Christianity.
(Read more on Wikipedia)

THE QUOTES NOW:
@ ArchbishopNick
Quite a number of people believe God, but very few trust Him. Those who trust Him are totally dependent on Him. Trust Him! #TheScriptures

@ ArchbishopNick
Don’t sacrifice the future of your family but instead, help them to know Christ. Pray for them always.

@ ArchbishopNick
The fear of God does not mean to be afraid of God. It means to respect,honor and complete any instruction He gives you #FearGod #Israel2016

@ ArchbishopNick
As you wait for your #Restoration16 continue in prayer, develop patience, learn to deal with discouragement, shame & the feeling of hopeless

@ ArchbishopNick
In the time of your peace & plenty invest in relationships; else in the time of adversity no one will come to your aid #ThePriceOfGreatness

@ ArchbishopNick
Make prayer time an appointment with God daily. Two unforgettable disciples, Peter and John, kept their prayer appointment with God.

SO I SAY:
WITH ALL THESE,BE TRULY INSPIRED WITH DUNCAN'S QUOTES

"...YOUR ANCHOR PLEASE???" (Joshua 1:1-9, Hebrew 6:19)

What is holding you?
I mean what are you standing on?

Still not clear???

Okay,let me explain it this way:
So this lady is graciously outdoored at a function. She's looking extremely beautiful, adorned with exquisite fashions, make-up strikingly hot with a lot of accessories. 

The invited female guests can't even take their eyes off her let alone the male. Before the outdoor, a short  clip is shown of how she was made up A-N-D mouths were wide open. Is she the same person???

Beloved, I ask clearly again, WHERE OR WHAT IS THAT ANCHOR HOLDING YOU???

Clothes, Money,Beauty, America, Popularity, your Mother... LET A STRONG  WIND BLOW 'na hw3'...
A quick peep into the Sea operations& we see that titanic ship, woow BRAVURA yet let a tumultuous wind blow &its fate will be that of a sinking sand. (Link it to the issue of Life jackets in Ghana. )

The solution is an ANCHOR.
An Anchor is a heavy device that is attached to a boat/ship by a rope/chain&thrown into the water to hold it in place in the face of a strong wind.

Beloved, even surpassing this pivotal human ANCHORS; we all need these unfailingly spiritual Anchors.
*THE WORD OF GOD,
*HIS EVER PRESENCE
* HIS NEVER
UNFAILING PROMISES. 

Throughout Scripture&even now(check),great men relied on these ANCHORS...without them they were (are) doomed.

Abraham,Moses, Joshua relied on these ANCHORS in their time with God& journey with the Israelites.
Peter, Paul&Jesus himself couldn't do without this. 

What about you? What is your ANCHOR, your hope??
Heb.6:19
'WE HAVE THIS HOPE AS AN ANCHOR FOR THE SOUL, FIRM AND SECURE... ' =(JESUS)

SO I ASK:
IF I TAKE THE LADDER OFF YOUR FEET... WILL YOU BE ABLE TO SHOW YOUR ANCHOR PLEASE???

'GOD, WE KNOW ooo...'(Hebrews 12:3-11)

Hehehe...'GOD, WE KNOW ooo...' indeed.  The title just fascinates me. Anyway, Good morning. This is ON THIS MORNING. How is your morning?

So right from child up to now,there are a lot of things we know. We clearly know a lot of things to do yet we fail to do them.

Do you remember the many times you got injured from playing as a child? Though you KNEW your mother could treat it well; you sheepishly hid it trying to treat it yourself.

Knowing us, mothers eventually find us out &lovingly disciplines us.

Fast Forward to now that you're grown up. You KNOW ALMOST everything that is right or wrong.

*The way&manner you speak or conduct yourself.
*What you've been putting on as a covering.
*  Holding that bitterness inside though you were not wrong in that case.
*The many justifications you give when asked that simple question about those situations.  Check them!

Beloved, for a lot of things that happens to us, it isn't that we don't know WHAT  but the problem is with the HOW?

As  you can see,we're inching closer to the big topic of TRUTH. (We'll deal with that later in  CONTROVERSIAL CONTROVERSIES)

Basically, my point this morning is that we know that God is our ever present help in times of need.
He has the perfect solutions for everything pertaining to this life....but you know what?

We're mostly afraid to go to him with our issues because it's either
*He won't do a fast connection  on them
*He'll go too deep or even for the spiritually matured,he'll reveal mysteries or issues WE are unprepared to deal with.

Okay, so this is what he says in Hebrews 12:9-10:

"Moreover we have all had human fathers who disciplines us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the father of our spirits and live.
Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our Good, that we may share in his holiness."

Therefore, don't let God be your final resort just because of the above untenable reasons; always know his hand of discipline equals LOVE. 
ALWAYS TURN TO HIM FIRST.

SO I SAY IN THIS FINAL CHAT:
GOD, WE KNOW ooo...

HE RESPONDS: THEN WHAT???

'IT IS TIME!'(JOSHUA 24:1-15)

Hello Precious one, hope you're waxing stronger&stronger in the faith. May God continue to keep us.

This morning I say 'IT IS TIME...' yes TIME to read  your All Round Daily Devotional. Beloved, just look all around you . Don't you think the WAIT should be OVER?

* Declare your stand!-For how long will you continue to remain lukewarm. Are you for God or not? You say you are but YOU know your life is far from it. BELOVED, IT'S TIME!

* For how long will you continue to Procrastinate. A look back at yesterday,last week& even right now & you're just about to do same...Heyyy, RISE UP FOR IT IS TIME.

*So, you have been a Christian for years but you don't commit yourself to the basic things like daily study of God's word yet you feel forsaken by him.For how long? BELOVED...IT IS TIME!

*How long will you continue to live in denial. Is it that there is no God(Atheism) or about the merging of different kind of faith(Syncretism)?

Truth is hard to find I know but there is one truth. However, if  we will take time to even look at Nature, it even affirms that truth. Stop being restless, Stop living in fear& seek that TRUTH.(Proverbs 8:17)

IT IS TIME!

I believe IT IS TIME for us to rise up and  either START or put a PERPETUAL END to a lot of things in our lives-Educational,Financial&Social ones.

Mostly, we're waiting for a giant leap or dramatic turn for that big change. We also point to our weaknesses at times, for we are very willing but the things of this world just won't let us.

Yes, it may be true but how long will you continue to blame such things. God knows that. It's why he continues to speak, remind, empower you everyday through varying means.

The message is simple. A wake up call for us all. You've heard today that IT IS TIME. .RISE UP...Don't let it be the usual.

Know that irrespective of what happens it rests on YOU to cause that change. God has given you that authority right from creation.

Again, to sum it up:
It always rests on YOU to cause that change in YOUR Life. Noone can do it better than YOU.God has given you the power right from the onset. RISE UP...DON'T LET IT BE THE USUAL...IT IS TIME!

The below is the fulcrum of it all& that is why today God is asking you:

"BUT IF SERVING THE LORD SEEMS UNDESIRABLE TO YOU, THEN CHOOSE FOR YOURSELVES THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE, WHETHER THE GODS YOUR ANCESTORS SERVED BEYOND THE EUPHRATES, OR THE GODS OF THE AMORITES, IN WHOSE LAND YOU ARE LIVING. BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.”(Joshua 24:15)

A double sided life is one of the things God hates. Don't be spit out. Make that decision now.

SO I SAY:
'IT IS TIME!'

'QUOTES FOR CEPOP'(A CEPOP SPECIAL)

And so today on QUOTES, we do another 'CEPOP SPECIAL'.

I present to you these spot-on QUOTES on Evangelism&Discipleship.

Let's hear them:
* EVANGELISM is the spontaneous overflow of a glad and free heart in Jesus Christ.
Robert Munger

* The salvation of a single soul is more important than the production or preservation of all the epics and tragedies in the world.
C. S. Lewis

* Our business is to present the Christian faith clothed in modern terms, not to propagate modern thought clothed in Christian terms. Confusion here is fatal.
J. I. Packer

*The greatest hindrances to the evangelization of the world are those within the church.
John R. Mott

* Being an extrovert isn’t essential to EVANGELISM–obedience and love are.
Rebecca M. Pippert

*Evangelism is not salesmanship It is not urging people, pressing them, coercing them, overwhelming them, or subduing them. Evangelism is telling a message. Evangelism is reporting good news.” – Richard C. Halverson

* Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you're not saved yourself, be sure of that!
Charles Haddon Spurgeon

* “ We should be more concerned with reaching the lost than pampering the saved.
David McGee

* Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? (Luke 6:46)

I celebrate a little brother oo, a friend, a creative, a poet& what mpo?...
a mysterical guy at times. He is PHILIP SELORM LOGOH.

Anyway, so PHIL' S BIRTHDAY MESSAGE is not a message I have for him but what he has for us.

In this spectacular   poetic piece of his, he talks basically about SIN & THE GLORIOUS WAY OUT.
(It has no title because he writes titleless poems)

Excerpts of the piece:
"I WAS IN HIS PRESENCE THEN I FELL INTO AN ABYSS OF DARKNESS.

SEPARATED INTO AN ETERNITY OF HIS PERPETUAL ABSENCE.

TRIED TO GO BACK BUT THE MORE I TRIED, I ONLY TURNED AND HIT MY BACK.

I WAS A SINNER.
NOTHING COULD CHANGE ME. No!...NOT THE TRADITION OR TABOOS OR NORMS,THEY ONLY MADE ME WORSE..."

(I STOP HERE)

Attached is the full audio. Download it & be impacted. (Great&powerful message.)

SO I SAY:
THIS IS 'PHIL'S BDAY MESSAGE'
(HAPPY BDAY PHIL)

'A FRESH START' (Isaiah 43:14-21)

It's not the beginning of the year. Yes, I know that. We just stepped  halfway through the year so why FRESH START?

How has your year been so far? I don't know about yours but I'll describe mine as just GOOD. I'm grateful to God but I know there are a lot more to be done.

I know the year may have astounded you as it seems to have split open quite fast.
However, moving on you just have to trust&believe he's 'gonna' turn it around, complete what he has started&make things new in your life.

In doing that, sometimes he gives us A FRESH START!
So,
*The year seems to have passed you by &you just don't know what you did or what happened to your plans midstream.

*For you, what haven't you done. You're left confused&disillusioned no matter how hard you try. Even the simplest of things seem to elude you.  You just want to THROW IN the towel.

Today as a child of God, his words in my mouth is that HE IS GIVING YOU A FRESH START.
Isaiah 43:18-19 says “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I AM DOING A NEW THING; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

*For some all he's saying is to keep on keeping on& remain steadfast...Your victory is just inches away. Don't give up!

*For you, stop looking back...looking back to that bitter past. He's only telling you to learn from that past, pick yourself up& look forward in faith.

Remember that in all these, HOW you POSITION in yourself in MIND, HEART&SPIRIT is KEY to a fulfilling year.

Therefore, have that unwavering trust in God that come what may, Whatever he's STARTED in you, he will shall surely COMPLETE it.(Phil. 1:6)

And surely, your latter glory will be greater than the former.(Haggai 2:9)

DON'T EVER GIVE UP... HE IS WITH YOU... THAT FRESH YOU NEED IS HERE.

SO I SAY:
'A FRESH START' IS WHAT GOD IS GIVING YOU. ..TAKE HOLD OF IT!
(HAVE A GLORIOUS YEAR!)

So once again I do a CEPOP SPECIAL for our upcoming Evangelism which kicks off this Monday June 6 to June 19 this year.

The statistics I have should tell you how EVANGELISM is unpopular but needed.

*SOME WORLD STATS:
-90% of foreign missionaries work among alreadyreached people groups.

-10% work among unreached people groups. (Winter and Koch, 543)

-Despite Christ's command to evangelize, 67% of all humans from AD 30 to the present day have never even heard the name of Jesus Christ. (Baxter 2007, 12)

-91% of all Christian outreach/evangelism does not target non-Christians, but targets other Christians. (Baxter 2007, 12)

-In the last 40 years, over 1 billion people have died who have never heard of Jesus, and around 30 million people this year will perish without hearing the message of salvation. (Baxter 2007, 12)

*70,000+ people die everyday in the unreached world without Jesus. (Baxter 2007, 12)

* Of foreign mission funding: 87% goes for work among those already Christian. 12% for work among already evangelized, but Non-Christian. 1% for work among the unevangelized and unreached people. (Baxter 2007, 12)

(www.aboutmissions.org/statistics.html)

* IN GHANA
The Stats in Ghana are few&hard to come by:
The few:
- In Ghana, 11.61% of the population are deemed church attending Christians.
-50.68% of acclaimed Christians do not go to church.
- 37.71% of the rest of the population are either Muslims or any of the lesser known religions.
